Rebuilding after Hurricane Earl
It’s been three months since Hurricane Earl hit Belize, and while the images of destruction spread quickly, so too have the people of San Pedro worked quickly to clean up the beaches and begin rebuilding.
I thought it was time to get the camera out and share some of the progress. Please join me on a walk down the beach as I share pictures taken in late October and early November.
The beach still looks amazing.
There’s an interesting mix of old and new.

This old building by the Boca Del Rio Park has now been torn down and a new multistory concrete building going up in it’s place.
This house in San Mateo was in a pile of pieces when I last saw it a few months back.
Volunteers rallied to rebuild simple plywood homes for those whose homes were destroyed by the hurricane. About 50 homes on the island were destroyed.
